An electrifiable ramp for use in supporting and electrifying lamps, or the like current consuming elements. A top and a bottom conductive strip are superimposed and insulated from each other. Respective conductive and supporting plates are folded up from both strips to extend in the same direction above the top strip, with the plates from the bottom strip extending through openings in the top strip. A rail profile has a receiving channel which receives the superimposed conductive strips slid into the channel. The conductive strips are insulated from the rail, e.g. by the rail being of insulating material, the rail being of anodized aluminum and/or the conductive strips being coated with insulating material. The rail may have side wings that extend up past the electrical element supporting plates to hide access to and viewing of the lamps or the like element supported on the plates.
